More accurate measurement of the entire body
As measurement is conducted between both upper and lower limbs, the measurement
values are less affected by the variation of physique as compared to traditional body fat
monitors.
Visceral fat is displayed in 30 levels
Visceral fat is closely related to lifestyle-related diseases, such as hypertension,
diabetes, and hyperlipidemia.
* OMRON BF500 can help you check your visceral fat level easily.
Easily check skeletal muscle percentage
Skeletal muscle is displayed as a percentage.
The unit only measures skeletal muscle, muscle connected to bone and used to move
the body. It does not include smooth muscle, found in internal organs.
Display of BMI and resting metabolism
In addition to calculating body fat percentage, it can also access your health using the
BMI method
*1
, while taking your physique into consideration. It estimates the resting
metabolism from personal data input and the measured body weight. Use those
calculated values as reference for planning your weight reduction program.
*1 BMI: Body Mass Index = Body weight (kg) / (height (m))²
Memory function to store up to four users’ personal data
For the measurement of body composition, it is necessary to set personal data such as
age, gender, and height. Once you set and store the data, the unit is ready for use by
pressing the personal profile number button. This unit can be shared as it can store up
to four different users’ data.
Comparison with previous results to monitor progress
The unit stores the measurement results, so you can easily monitor any changes. You
can display measurements for 1 day, 7, 30, and 90 days before.
The display unit can be operated easily and is easy to read.
